Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 139

“I told you, there are many new clothes and shoes in Sheng Fei’s room, but I didn’t take any of them. I only took this thing. I thought all her money was kept in the box.

Just think about it, if there was nothing in the box, why would it be locked? That lock was smashed open by the two of us. Who knew that there was just a brick inside? This Sheng Fei is really infuriating me to death.”

Xu Yuxia was so angry that she was about to die. Lu Jiefang also shook his head and looked disapprovingly at Xu Yuxia.

“Forget it, forget it. Sheng Fei won’t be back for a while anyway. Later, we’ll lure Lu Ting away, and then I’ll go in and search. You’re responsible for keeping him distracted.

I refuse to believe that we can’t find the money Sheng Fei earned. What if the money she earned is kept with Lu Ting and you didn’t notice it?”

“That’s impossible. Sheng Fei can now earn her own money. Why would she give it to Lu Ting?

People always say it’s safest to keep your own money with yourself. Besides, Sheng Fei and Lu Ting are not husband and wife. Their money definitely can’t be kept together.

I’ve searched Sheng Fei’s room from top to bottom, and I found this box is most likely where she keeps her money. Now do you want me to put this box back?”

Although Lu Jiefang was a little suspicious that Xu Yuxia had secretly kept Sheng Fei’s money, he had no evidence now.

And his wife was a rather fierce tigress, so Lu Jiefang didn’t dare to say much. He could only let Xu Yuxia put the iron box back in the room to prevent Sheng Fei from suspecting anything.

“Of course it has to be put back. Otherwise, if she finds the box missing, she’ll definitely suspect something.”

“But the lock on this box has already been broken by us. Are you stupid?”

“Then what do we do now? The money is not found, and Sheng Fei will definitely suspect the box is missing.”

Lu Jiefang looked at Xu Yuxia helplessly. He thought his wife was so smart, but it turned out she was only half-baked.

“Just don’t admit it no matter what. As long as we don’t say anything, who will know that it was us who took the box?

For now, let’s just keep it in our room. I bet Sheng Fei wouldn’t dare to search our room.

It’s gone missing, but it’s her own fault for not keeping it properly. Can she blame anyone else?”

Lu Jiefang also pondered about this in his heart.

Since it’s gone missing, what can they do? It’s not like Sheng Fei can come and directly confront them, right?

The two of them thought for a while and finally decided that they still needed to find an excuse to lure Lu Ting away.

The weather has been quite hot lately, and fruits are not something every household can afford. This time, to get Lu Ting to come over, Lu Jiefang directly brought out a watermelon that he treasured at home.

Since their land was not suitable for growing watermelons, this watermelon was bought with the money Lu Jiefang had painstakingly saved from a few days ago.

Lu Jiefang brought out the watermelon, saying that he was going to cut it open for everyone to quench their thirst.

Lu Jiefang’s stinginess was known to Old Mrs. Lu.

When Old Mrs. Lu and Lu Jianguo heard their eldest son Lu Jiefang say that he was going to eat watermelon, they both came over immediately.

But at this time, Lu Jiefang glanced at Xu Yuxia.

“Dad, Mom, please wait a moment. After all, this watermelon is hard to come by. I’ll go call Lu Ting to come and eat with us. Good things should be shared with everyone.”

“Why call him? Didn’t you see how he just snubbed me? That son of his, he even has that attitude towards his own mother. I don’t even want to acknowledge him now.”
